The Hamptons Real Estate Horror Show - Hardcover

It's summer in The Hamptons and people are behaving badly.

Renters and buyers-the rich, the famous, the bad, and the ugly-are out in full force with one mission: to find the perfect house. Do they care that they are mistreating everyone, including the valiant real estate agents working for them? Absolutely not. They have abandoned civility (if they ever had any).

In these stories, so revealing that the two authors-who together have logged some 50 years in real estate-must remain anonymous, the seamy underbelly of Hamptons Real Estate is exposed to the bright, often hilarious, light of day.

An email screeches, "You and your cougar girlfriend should read the f'n lease!" A landlord accuses, "Your dog dug up my lawn!" (Reply from dog owner: "I don't have a dog!") A woman demands, "I MUST have a house South of the Highway-by the way, what is 'South of the Highway'?"

Towels aren't fluff y enough; birds are "too noisy" and should be "eliminated"; "No Viking Range? Forget it!" "You get me a beach sticker or I'll badmouth your name all over town!"

These true tales give a broker's-eye view of what really happens in the Hamptons Real Estate scene. You couldn't make this stuff up-and these two authors didn't.
